A survey of 2,000 adults found that 20% are already job hunting. The Investors in People poll revealed a third of workers were miserable in their job, partly because of poor management and not feeling valued.

“We know that bad leadership alone costs the UK £39billion a year. If employers addressed these factors, they would have a more committed workforce and far fewer resources tied up in constant recruitment drives……As the economy improves, many employers run the risk of losing their valuable, skilled staff.” – Paul Devoy, Head of Investors in People
